Abstract:

The pandemic COVID-19 has drastically changed the way education has been delivered for the past year and a half, the situation called for the sudden adaptation of flexible learning in schools which led to the need for accommodation and innovation not only institutional but also involving the stakeholders. The research employed the participation of students from selected state universities and asked them about their perception on how they thought Commission on Higher Education’s approach in handling the situation during the pandemic and continuing the flexible learning programs moving forward. Results provide proof that there is a general discontent from on how CHED and various institutions’ initiatives and approaches during the pandemic, as well as, on the preparations and considerations on their plans of considering flexible learning as a norm moving forward which ultimately affect not only the perceived maintenance on the quality of education that we have but also on the mental health and motivations of the students moving forward.
